[!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH]

Haven't even used my phone for years.

Probably had my sim card cut off.

[custom_fusion-lqx]

dont use phone really

got one though no contacts on it

[tom75]

Maybe 9 or 10 family numbers and one friend. The rest are people I had to work with at uni for a group project that I will never phone (or even see) again.

[bluemaus]

30ish.

Includes family, friends and work-related people.

Edit: And a taxi number.

[Progress]

Mum
2 brothers
1 female friend
3 male friends

[LordSnow]

Couple of friends and that's about it. I talk to like two of them and that's only to ask if we're doing anything. No small talk or chit chat for me.

[meinemonkey]

about ten people, mostly family and a few old work numbers

though i dont phone anyone and nobody phones me, or texts me

i get infinitely more advertising texts than personal ones

[Defiance]

maybe 2-3 years ago i only had 1 dude on there who i didn't even like.


just had a look now, and it seems i have 53,


having said that, im not in regular contact with all 53...

[Kerryboo]

I have a lot, but I have had the same sim for 5 years, and no matter how long it has been since I have talked to someone I have issues with deleting numbers, I always think I might need them.

Or I worry I will randomly bump into someone in like 2 years and they say we should meet up and ask if I still have their number. It would make me feel awkward to say "No I deleted you." so I keep everyone and anyone.
Most of the people are work related people from my last job.

I only regularly have contact with one friend. Sometimes my parents but I still live with them so only to buy milk or something. I get a text once a month from 2 other friends when we meet up to arrange times. I often have my phone switched off for over a week and do not have any texts or missed calls when I turn it on. The friend I have regular contact with we chat on MSN every day so she doesn't text much and we never talk on the phone.

I met a guy who only had my number and his parents number on his phone and he had had the phone for like 7 years . . . I couldn't understand why he didn't at least have his works number or like the doctors or something else.

Not used mobile for ages but off top of my head.

Brother
Sister
Oldest step daughter
Youngest step daughter
Taxi firm

[iTz0kt0Bu]

mum
sis
step bro
step sis
about 4 or 5 friends

My mum and step bro are the only ppl who call my phone.

The good thing about having the smartphone though is that i mostly use it for internet instead.

[Pariah]

Honestly, I have loads of contacts - like a couple of hundred in my phone.. just nobody I could ring for a friendly chat, or without a particular reason for doing so.

[blue_the_puppy]

31
i actually talk to about two of those

[ßazza]

Of actual people and not businesses etc,

I got 2 people I have no clue who they are. I would most likely ignore them unless they reminded me who they were.

21 people I might use although the majority its not very common. Maybe 5 or so I might use more commonly. Another 5 semi-common. (And when I use the word common - For me its not that frequent but commonly based on myself.)

11 people I would never contact again. Though possibly would if they ever contacted me.

So 34 I guess. I hate mobiles so do my best not to use it frequently.

[Toxic]

46 according to my gmail contacts

then you remove the odd business

..then you remove the random emails i might have used once..

then you remove people who you dont even recognize

then you remove the people who you havent spoke to for about 6 years and you probably have the wrong number..

family and friends of people ill actually have a conversation with..(or well maybe a weekly text) ...about 5 and 2 of them are my parents

[Last Chance Undies]

My kids,
My brothers,
My partner,
My ex and his partner,
A few old workmates,
My mother...which really needs deleting. If by any quirk of technology it came up as 'mother calling' I would shit myself. She died last year.

mum
wife

I bet Barlow does...

2. One a Skype friend that i've never actually spoken to, and the second a work colleague.

[tryinghard]

Of ones I actually call - my boyfriend, a female friend, a male friend, my boss (only for work things obviously!), a work colleague (only for work things), my dad, my mam, my brother.

More recently I have also hung around with another friend, so I've used her number as well, and I'm supposed to be meeting up with another old friend tonight. So those numbers might actually get used more now.

All the others are work-related or taxis or services.

[piesJoy]

4)a couple of people from here who i briefly texted but don't text me anymore
5) shit like the dentist, doctors, take away etc.....

[Alex_James]

Dad, brother, few people from my last place of work. Not phoned or texted anyone in years though. Only reason I keep my phone on now is in case a job employer rings me up.

This just made my day haha

[Butterfly2020]

I have about 6 that I can actually be bothered to call/text:

Mum, Dad, best friend and 3 other friends.

The rest are just there to take up space and make it look like I have a busy social life... haha

[Tetsuaiga]

Mum, Sister, Male Friend, 2 Female Friends. One person I dont talk to anymore, thats it.

I would hardly call these people real friends though tbh.

[Golz]

Outside of family which I cba to count, some of their numbers are probably out of date even.

2 from uni (due to a group project had)
2 online friends (almost pointless)
1 former online friend who turned out to anything but the sort, just haven't bothered to remove as I never go into my contacts

[Richey604]

Mum (occasionally)
Sister (very occasionally)
1 female friend

Other than that, no-one.

I've got Skype (phone so I can make voice calls) & 3 or 4 ppl in various parts of the world who I'm sposed to be helping learn/practice English, but need to get used to using it. Even phoning myself to make the (Skype) test call made me feel absurdly self conscious ...
